Notes

Apparently, the "child" who accompanied him on the Ship Mary &
Ann was Jean Velas, as Marie had married Daniel Guerin by 1697

Notes

"Nathaniel and Catherine first set up their home in Scott Co,
VA, around Nickelsville. He worked as a farmhand. Over the
years, they saved enough to buy a small farm in Russell Co.,
possibly near his father, as they were living there in 1900. By
1952, at the time of his death, they were living in Orange Co.,
Florida." - John R. Wallace diskette. --Sources Birth: John
